1 Mpokwalasuminishiweti twenga ku Italiya mubwato, Paulo pamo ne bakaili nabambi balabikwa mumakasa amukulene wa bashilikali mwanda lina lyakendi Juliyasi, wamulikoto lyalikukwiweti, “Bashilikali ba Mwami waku Loma.” 2 Twalatanta bwato bwalafumina ku Adilamitayo bwalikuya ku bito bya mucishi ca Asiya. Twalikuba pamo ne Alisitako walafuma ku Tesalonika mu cimpansha ca Makedoniya. 3 Busuba bwalakonkapo, twalashika ku Sidoni.

9 Twalataya cindi citali mu bulwendo, cakwinseti busuba bwa kulikanisha kulya bwalikuba bulapiti kendi. Cindico calaboneketi nitukumane ne bintu biyosha mu bulwendo bwetu. Neco Paulo walabacenjesheti, 10 “Mobaname, ame ndabonongeti kufuma pano bulwendo bwetu bwakuya kuntangu nitukumane ne bintu biyosha. Bintu bingi nibyonongeke ne kutaika, ntebyo bintu byonka ne bwato sobwe, nsombi ne buyumi bwetu.” 11 Nomba nendi mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, walanyumfwila mukulene wa basebenshi ba bwato ne mwine bwato, kupita maswi ngalamba Paulo. 12 Cito ico nkacalikuba caina kwikalapo cindi ca mupewo. Neco bantu bangi balayeya kufumapo pacito ico, ne kuya pantanguko kwambeti mpani ngabashika kucito ca Foinike, ne kwikalako pa cindico. Cito ici ciliku Kelete, calangila kumusansa cakumbonshi kayi ne kunyika cakumbonshi.

13 Popelapo cipupu cabomba calafumina kumusansa, calatatika kupupula, neco bantu balayeyeti bapitilishe bulwendo bwabo mpaka kuya kushika ku Foinike. Balacikwela cinshimbi cinene cishikwimanika bwato, ne kutatika kwendela mu mbali mwakuma nsumbu ya Kelete. 14 Nsombi paliya kupita cindi citali sobwe, lukupwe lwalikukwiweti, “Lukupwe lwa kunyika ca kucwe” Lwalikufumina pansumbu lwalakonempa cangofu. 15 Ulu lukupwe lwalesa kuma ku bwato cakwinseti calala kuya kwalikufumina lukupwe. Neco twalabuleka kabuya kunyakwa ne lukupwe. 16 Twaleshikilwako ne nsumbu ing'ana ya Kauda, mpotwalenda ku lubasu lwa kumusansa. Kopeloko mukupenga penga, twalacikonsha kukwabilila kabwato kang'ana kali kukwelwa ne bwato bunene. 17 Kabwato kang'ana balakakwelela mubwato bunene. Balasunga ntambo bwato bunene kwambeti kabuta pausuka. Balikutineti mpani ngabuya buma pa museya waku Siriti mu mbali mwacishi ca Libya. Neco balalasha byombesho bya mu bwato ne kubuleka kabuya kuselaukowa ne lukupwe. 18 Twalasunkanwa ne lukupwe lwangofu lwalapitilisha kupupula. Mpobwalaca, balatatika kufunya bintu mbyebalikuba bamanta ne kubiwala mulwenje. 19 Pabusuba bwatutatu, balawala mu menshi nabimbi byombesho bya mu bwato. 20 Kwa masuba angi nkatwalikulibona lisuba nambi nyenyenshi. Lukupwe lwalapitilisha kupupula cangofu, cakwinseti kupembelela sha kupuluka nkotwalikukute kwalapwa.

21 Bantu mpobalekala masuba angi kwakubula kulya cakulya, Paulo walemana pakati pabo ne kwambeti, “Mobanse bame, nshinga ne mwalanyumfwa maswi ngondalambeti katutafuma pa Kelete, ne tulabulu kutaikilwa bintu bingi cisa. 22 Nikukabeco ndamusengengeti muyumishe myoyo, paliya muntu naba umo eshafwe, bwato bonka bweti bonongeke. 23 Ndicinshici, pakwinga lelo mashiku, mungelo wa Lesa uyo kayi e Mwami wakame ngonkute kukambilila langa lesa kuli njame, 24 lambeti, ‘Kotatina Paulo!

27 Mashiku abusuba mbotwalakwanisha nsondo shibili kufumina mpolwalatatika lukupwe lwacipupu, twalikatuya kwempauka ne lukupwe palwenje lwa Medeteleniya. Pakati pa mashiku basebenshi ba mu bwato bunene balikuyeyeti tuli pepi ne kumutunta. 28 Popelapo balalasha lutambo mu menshi lwalikuba lwasungwako cinshimbi kwakumako, kwambeti babone na nipatali aconi kuya panshi mu menshi apo mpobalikuba. Balacaneti palikuba ntamwa makumi ana kuya panshi. Mpobalendako pang'ana kayi balapima, balacaneti pali ntamwa makumi atatu. 29 Apa balatineti bwato bunene ngabuya buma pamabwe. Neco balalasha binshimbi byalema bishikwimanika bwato bina byalikuba byasungwa kunyuma kwa bwato, balatatika kupaileti kabuca bwangu.

30 Basebenshi ba mu bwato balikuyanda kuloboka. Neco balaselusha kabwato kang'ana mu menshi, kababoneketi balabikinga binshimbi bishikwimanika bwato bunene, byalikuba byasungwa kuntangu kwa bwato. 31 Mwabwangu bwangu, Paulo walambila mukulene wabashilikali mwanda, ne bashilikali nabambi mbobalikuba nabo pamo kwambeti, “Na basebenshi ba mu bwato muno bafumemo, nteti mupulukepo sobwe.” 32 Popelapo bashilikali balatimbula ntambo shalikuba shasungwako kabwato ako ne kukaleka kakaya kusela pamenshi.

33 Kabutana buca, Paulo walabasenga bonse kwambeti balye cakulya. Walabambileti, “Alakwana masuba likumi ne ana, mwapembelelangowa kwakubula kulya kantu kalikonse. 34 Lino ndamusengengeti kamulyani cakulya kwambeti mube ne ngofu sha kupuluka, nteti mulilingepo sobwe.” 35 Mpwalapwisha kwamba Paulo walamanta shinkwa walatembaula Lesa pamenso abantu, walakomonako walalya. 36 Popelapo bonse balaliyuminisha myoyo balatatika kulya. 37 Twense twalikuba mu bwatomo twalikuba myanda ibili, ne makumi asanu ne abili, ne bantu basanu ne umo. 38 Bonse mpobalekuta, balawala bifunta bya museke mu menshi byalikuba bilashala mu bwato kwambeti bupubeko.

39 Mumene mpobwalaca, basebenshi bamubwato bunene balabona mutunta nomba baliya kuwinshiba. Mpobalabona cisapa camuseya balayeyeti benga bemanike bwato popelapo na kacikonsheka. 40 Balatimbula ntambo shekata bishimbi byalema bishikwimanika bwato, ne kubilekela mu menshi, kayi balasungulula ntambo kwalikuba kwasungililwa bitondo byakunyonena bwato. Balakweleka cikwisa cishi kwikata lukupwe calikuba kuntangu kwa bwato kwambeti lukupwe lubatwalanyenga kuntangu. Neco twalabukuba ne kuya ku cisapa. 41 Nomba bwato bwalakacinka pa museya walikuba mu menshi, popelapo bwalemana. Cimpansha cakuntangu calakapatila mu museya calala kucendesha. Calo cimpansha cakunyuma calapasauka ne mankape alikwisa cangofu.

42 Pacindici bashilikali balapanganeti bashine bakaili bonse, kwambeti kapataba naba umo eshasambe nyambwe kutampukila kutala ne kuloboka. 43 Mukulene wabashilikali mwanda walikuyanda kupulushako Paulo. Pacebo ico walabakanisha ncebalikuyanda kwinsa. Lino walambila bakaili bonse bacinshi kusamba nyambwe kwambeti batangune kuliwala pamenshi benga kutala. 44 Panyuma pakendi walambila nabambi bonseti baliwale pamenshi, kabali bekatilila ku mapulanga ne bintu nabimbi byalapasauka ku bwato. Umu emotwalatampukila ku mutunta ne kupuluka kwakubula kulilinga.
